"66" Blue Deluxe/ and a clown bike

[A.S.BOLTNUT]

Picked up This "66" Blue StingRay DeLuxe last night paint is still very decent even though you cant tell buy the pic,s , plan on changing the seat to a NOS blue one i'v been saving and adding a slik, getting hard to find a blue sting in good condition !

Also picked up this Early Balloon tire Schwinn some older folks had listed as a Clown Bike :| ,Wasn't sure why until the gentlemen mentioned the rear Wheel ,then i noticed it was off center giving it that up and down motion when you ride it! :lol: , sports some very nice patina on the old brown paint and a Locking Early springer!

Off center by 2'' not sure what this rim is from but it's a N.d. but skip tooth ?
front is the OG Schwinn , and this thing is Badged BF goodrich , also sports the tapered Kick stand Wich leads me to believe it would be 1946,nice Carlisle tire up front with a Schwinn Typhoon cord out back, maybe it was a clown bike ? the way it bounces up and down is really a kick too ride :lol:

Like your stingray. I need to hurry up and grab one for my son before they really get hard to find.

Unfortunately , i bought this with intentions of using it for parts, the rear fender brace was cut out to enable the rear wheel action
